Replacement window contractor Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City knows the importance of meeting and talking with homeowners before finalizing a window improvement project. Most clients don’t know much about how consultations work, so to help you figure out how much your project will cost, how good your contractor is, and even what options we can give you, we list some questions to ask during your consultation with us.
These questions can make the difference between a project that is done well and one that doesn’t. Generally, the following questions should give you an idea about the company itself, its products, and its general services.
“Do you know if there are any hidden fees?”
The need to be aware of all fees associated with your window replacement project is essential because, in addition to labor and material costs, there may be additional charges to be aware of and pay. An additional fee may be charged for the installation of new window treatments.
“Which type of window would be most appropriate for my needs?”
When selecting replacement window styles, don’t forget to take into account even the smallest details. If you want to increase the amount of natural ventilation in your home, operable windows such as casements and double-hung windows can be an excellent choice. Models with energy-saving features, on the other hand, can never go wrong in terms of selection. Listen to your window installation company, when they recommend the use of low-emissivity coatings and multi-pane glass to make your windows particularly energy efficient.
“Can you tell me how long it will take to install my windows?”
The replacement of a single window will most likely take less time than the installation of windows throughout your entire home. If you intend to do the latter, it’s best to consult with your contractor about a detailed project timeline before proceeding.
“Can the weather have an impact on the timeline?”
Even though it is frequently overlooked, this is most likely a critical factor that can have an impact on your window replacement project. If your contractor says they work in poor weather conditions or that the weather could potentially slow down the process, don’t be afraid to ask them if this is the case. Ideally, they will be able to provide you with alternative plans in such situations.
